How to be a True Friend?

TIPS:

1. Be friend with yourself and accept others.
-How can you be a friend to others if you are not a friend to yourself. You just need to accept yourself first. We are not perfect. If you learn to accept yourself, you have now the position to accept others. Accept them as you accept yourself. remember, we are just humans so if they made mistakes forgive them. Take them for who they really are.

2. Make time.
-Make time for relationships. Sometimes we don't give time to our friends because we are busy but we should put them as one of our priorities because maybe one day there will be a time that your friend will feel that he or she is not important anymore because you don't give time to him or her.

3. Be a good listener and understand each other.
-"Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer."
Sometimes we don't really listen to our friends. A true friend is not like that. We should listen to what our friends say, because they are the one who knows you better and knows whats bes for you. Understand each other also. Do not accuse your friend, listen to her first and understand her.

4. Enrich each others' life.
-"Friendship is a treasured gift and everytime I talk with you I feel as if I'm getting richer and richer. True friends provide value to each other. She/He wants the best for you and what will make you happy.

5. Trust each other.
-"Confidence is the foundation of friendship. If we give it we will receive it. We should trust each other, if we are a true friend we will share each other's secrets, problems and many more. We believe that our friend will keep it till the day she/he dies.

6. Say the truth, do not lie to your friend.
-A true friend is not afraied of saying the truth, even if it's not convinient to the ones who hear it. A true friend cares too much about the person's wellness that he can't afford to let him live wrongly. Always have others best interst in your heart and be honest to them.

7. Know the right time to do things.
- Sometimes being a frienxd means the mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence.A time to let go and allow people too hurt themselves in thier own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

8. Leverage other's potential.
- My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
A true friend wants to see the people around them to live up to thier maximum potential. You can do this by helping your friends to recognize and develop thier personal strengts.

9. See the positive side of others.
- A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though you are slihglty cracked.
A true friend knows you good enough to see your weaknesses but he still believes in yourpotential. To become a true friend, you should believe that your friends are good on the inside no matter how bad thier outer appearance might be. It's by this belief that you can sincerely encourage them.

10. Be present in difficult times.
-True friend isn't about being theere when it's convinient; it's about being there when it's not.
This is the test of rue friendship. Fake friends will be there when you are happy since they want to share your happinness. But fake friends won't be with you in times of difficult times. Only true friends will choose to be with you in difficult times. So, to be true friend, be with your friends in their dark moments. Be with them even if you need to let go your own convinience. It may be the most difficult tip of all, but it's the mark of true friendship.
